ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Police are searching for additional victims of an Abilene sexual assault suspect.

Police are now asking these victims to come forward, saying “we understand that reporting sexual assault can be difficult, and we want to assure all potential victims that they will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and confidentiality.”

Anyone with information on other victims Cano may have assaulted is asked to contact Crimes Against Persons at (325)704-3221 or Abilene Crime Stoppers at (325)676-8477.
